I'm going to attempt to stay out of the arguement regarding what Penn State is like because I don't know (I went to school in Arkansas in A DRY COUNTY...in the 90's. It was interesting.)
However....I do want to give a huge
AMEN to PM_Mama's above statement. I don't understand why students have no coping skills when it comes to dry events. Seriously, it's like they cannot socialize with anyone else unless there is alcohol involved. We're not saying that once you join a GLO you can never drink a beer again. We're just saying that there's a time when you cannot drink, and then there's times you can.
The bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood are made by enjoying each other and being
real with each other...that doesn't happen with alcohol on board. I'd challenge ANY chapter who promotes that they have a true, solid brotherhood/sisterhood bond, but who plans every event around alcohol (either by having alcohol at the event or by the whole chapter arriving at a dry event drunk) to explain to me exactly how they built such a strong brotherhood/sisterhood.
(I'll bet they describe events/situations that don't involve alcohol, thereby proving that they CAN interact without alcohol on board)
